I guess the situation could be somewhat different for an audio
engineer controlling a 'standard' app such as mixer, and a
musician using a GUI as an interface to his instrument.

Also, even in the first case visual quality *does* matter,
but it depends on subtle things rather than on flashy
features - just perceptible shadows, gentle colour gradients
or textures for backgrounds, small differences in the size of
controls, small deviations from grid positions to suggest
functional groups, etc. all help to provide an interface that
is easy to use.
